2017 DS DS3 1.2L Petrol · FN67 PBV

The 2017 DS DS3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 12 November 2025 at 51,913 miles which recorded no defects. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly on 21 November 2024 at 44,110 miles and on 21 November 2023 at 35,772 miles. The two failure entries logged on the same dates as the passes in 2023 and 2024 carry no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. No advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear anywhere in the history. The odometer shows 51,913 miles against roughly nine years of age, equating to about 5,768 miles per year. This is low for a 2017 hatchback. The car added 8,338 miles between November 2023 and November 2024, then 7,803 miles to November 2025, a consistent annual rate with no sudden accumulation or extended dormant gaps. The clean record across both passes and defect-free failures suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumable wear within test limits, though the sparse entries give limited insight into intermediate servicing of tyres or wiper blades. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age, as MOT cleans do not capture early surface rust outside test thresholds. The absence of flagged binding calipers, coil spring fractures, or worn suspension components is reassuring, but low annual mileage often masks seized linkages or flat-spotted tyres from standing. Verify brake disc condition and fluid age before purchase. Given the duplicate failure-with-no-defect logs in 2023 and 2024, confirm with the seller which garage processed the tests and request service invoices. The record implies a cautious owner who presented the car annually, yet the peculiar failure entries warrant a check of the DVSA portal for any suppressed advisory notes.
